Bright colours for fun, or two neutrals to go with everything?

Chequered Socks are knit top-down, with a double stockinette edge and a short-row heel. No need to pick up extra stitches. The pattern includes two sizes, for Ladies M and Mens M, where the length of both leg and foot are easily adjustable.

The all-over colourwork provides extra warmth and firms the shape of the sock, the pattern is easy enough to knit while watching television.

For the sample socks I used a bit more than one skein of main colour and a bit more than half a skein of contrast colour for each pair.
